250 All-Natural, Low-Glycemic Recipes to Nourish and Rejuvenate
(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Diabetes Cooking for Everyone—from award-winning cookbook author Carol Gelles, a trained nutritionist who has type 2 diabetes—presents an appealing array of 250 all-natural, healthful recipes for every meal of the day. From breakfast and brunch dishes (Crustless Vegetable Quiche, Sourdough Pancakes), to appetizers (Thyme Stuffed Mushrooms, Thai Beef Salad, Cucumber Feta Dip, Red Pepper Bisque), as well as side dishes and salads (Lemon Asparagus, Spicy Grilled Cauliflower, Marinated Tomato Salad, Oriental Chicken Salad), each recipe comes with at-a-glance information on its glycemic index rating, essential nutrients, and diabetic exchanges. Desserts are also included (Light As Air Cheesecake, Nutella Tart, Peach and Blueberry Crispy)—and no artificial sweeteners are used, instead many of the recipes use agave (a natural, low-GI sweetener). For cooks with special dietary needs, comprehensive recipe variations make it easy to reduce fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, protein, or carbohydrates, and extensive charts list all of the nutritional values for each recipe.
Carol Gelles, an award-winning cookbook author, professionally trained nutritionist, and type 2 diabetic, is the author of six other cookbooks, including Something for Everyone, 101 Ways to Juice, and 1,000 Vegetarian Recipes, which received an IACP / Julia Child Cookbook Award and a James Beard Award. She lives in New York City.
